subsided. She suddenly laughed. She couldn't exactly thank Nick for this one. Alex clamped a hand over her mouth fearfully. Suppose he had heard her giggle? She brought her knees up to her chest and rested her head on her knees. She would just close her eyes for a second.
"Nick,did you know there's a girl asleep in front of your door?" Jenny asked, adjusting her purse on her shoulder.
Nick stared at Alex's sleeping form. His heart flipped in his chest at the sight of her. A dark lock of hair had fallen across her cheek. "I'll take care of this. She's Brian's fiancee." The words felt bitter in his mouth, no matter how many times he said them.
"Call me," Jenny purred seductively, stroking his arm.
Nick tried not to flinch. Her touch felt sacriligious in front of Alex, even if she was
asleep. He watched Jenny walk away. She was Alexandra's opposite in every
way. Tall, where in most cultures Alex barely made it as a midget. Blonde, where Alex's dark long curls begged to be messed with, preferably spread out on his bed. Empty headed, where Alex's beauty hid the quick mind and sharp tongue she possessed.
"Alex," he whispered, kneeling down in front of her. What was she doing here? he wondered. Her panic attacks? What if--Oh God. She had shown up at his front door. Had she seen him with Jenny? Shame filled him, then triumph. Good. Let her know what she was missing. God he felt like a jerk.
Alex replayed the scene she had witnessed over and over in her dreams, only this time it wasn't the girl, but Alex that felt Nick deep inside of her, filling her completely. Her body burned beneath him. She moaned his name.
Nick knew he should wake her up but damn she looked so beautiful. His body jerked in response to her soft moan. He raised his hand to her face and stroked her cheek. He hardened at just that brief touch of his fingers against her smooth skin. She stirred and tilted her face, her mouth finding his palm. She moaned his name and Nick froze. Wake her up man, he shouted inside his head, before this gets out of hand. Her lips parted against his hand and he groaned at the feel of the tip of her tongue on his hand. He had to taste her just once. She was asleep. She wouldn't know. His mouth lowered to hers.
